One of the sides that the fans will keep an eye on would be the five-time champions Mumbai Indians. It is worth noting that MI retained the likes of Jasprit Bumrah,
Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Tilak Varma, and Rohit Sharma. The side will go into the auction with INR 45 crore in their purse.
Looking to rebuild their squad, AI was asked about the potential team that MI could field after the auction. It replied that MI could go with Trent Boult, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, and many more in the auction.
Furthermore, the AI has also predicted that the side will once again rope in Tim David,
Nehal Wadhera, Ravi Ashwin, and even Yuzvendra Chahal as well.
It is worth noting that the IPL 2024 was a forgettable affair for MI; the side failed to make it to the knockout stages of the tournament. The side finished in 10th place in the standings after they won just four out of the 14 matches. The side will hope that they can improve and put in a good showing in the IPL 2025, get their hands on their sixth IPL title, and establish their dominance in the tournament once more.
AI-predicted MI squad for IPL 2025:
The final 18-member squad when CricTracker enquired about Mumbai Indians' squad, it had six batters, six pacers, three all-rounders, and three spinners. The core unit of the five-time champions remained the same, and moreover, players who have represented MI in the past were predicted to be bought again at the auction by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
